which corresponds to an approach/departure
angle of 45°.
Accelerate carefully and make sure that the
wheels do not spin when driving on steep ter-
rain.
iIf the load on the front axle is reduced when
pulling away on a steep uphill slope, the front
wheels have a tendency to spin. 4ETS detects
this and brakes the wheels accordingly. The
rear wheel torque is increased, making it eas-
ier to drive off.

dient climbing ability, see (
Ypage 132).

Maximum drawbar noseweight
!
Use a drawbar noseweight as close as pos-
sible to the maximum permissible nose-
weight. Do not use a noseweight of less than
50 kg, otherwise the trailer may come loose.
Note that the payload and the rear axle load
are reduced by the actual payload.
The drawbar load reduces the permissible over-
all load and rear axle load.
The drawbar load acts from above onto the ball
head on the trailer tow hitch.
The drawbar noseweight is not included in the
trailer load. Missing values were not available at time of
going to print.

The actual noseweight may not be higher than
the value which is given. The value can be found
on the trailer tow hitch or trailer identification
plates. The lowest weight applies.
The maximum permissible trailer drawbar nose-
weight is the maximum weight with which the
trailer drawbar can be loaded. The permissible
trailer drawbar noseweight is the limit for
Mercedes-Benz-approved trailer couplings.
